400/450 stroker....Cheap parts, lotta work.

Just a quick thing that I had to rediscover when doing a prelube.....To oil the 1,3,5,7 rockers (left bank) you need to be on #8 TDC (fire). To oil the right bank rockers (2,4,6,8) you need to be on #6 TDC (fire). Now I must clean the oil off the shop floor and then crawl around in the irrigation ditch to measure for the new mainline offset. Oh Joy!

I love the detail of this build! Quick question - what paint did you use on it? It looks killer?
